BACKGROUND (a) Technical Field

This disclosure relates to a display device. More particularly, this disclosure relates to a light emitting display device including light emitting diodes.

(b) Description of the Related Art

A light emitting display device includes light emitting diodes corresponding to pixels, and may display an image by controlling the luminance of each light emitting diode. Unlike a light-receiving display device such as a liquid crystal display, the light emitting display device does not require a light source such as a backlight, and thus the thickness and weight may be reduced. In addition, the light emitting display device has characteristics such as high luminance, a high contrast ratio, high color reproduction, and a high response rate, and thus it may display high-quality images.

Due to these advantages, the light emitting display devices are applied to various electronic devices, for example, mobile devices such as smart phones, tablets, or laptops, monitors, and televisions, and are in the spotlight as display devices for vehicles.

The light emitting display device may include a pixel circuit for configuring the pixels or driving the pixels.

The pixel circuit may include a light emitting diode, a transistor, a capacitor, and a signal line. Undesired parasitic capacitance may be generated in the pixel circuit. The parasitic capacitance may be a problem when the display panel is particularly driven at a high rate.

The above information disclosed in this Background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the invention, and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known in this country to a person of ordinary skill in the art.

The transistors T1 to T8 may include a first transistor T1, a second transistor T2, a third transistor T3, a fourth transistor T4, a fifth transistor T5, a sixth transistor T6, a seventh transistor T7, and an eighth transistor T8. The second to eighth transistors T2 to T8 may receive respective gate signals through the gate lines GL1 to GL5.

The scan signal GW and the inverted scan signal GC may have opposite polarities to each other. For example, when a high voltage is applied to the scan line GL1, a low voltage may be applied to the inverted scan line GL2.

The initialization control line GL3 may transmit an initialization control signal GI to the fourth transistor T4. The bypass control line GL4 may transmit a bypass signal GB to the seventh transistor T7. The bypass control line GL4 may also transmit the bypass signal GB to the eighth transistor T8. The bypass control line GL4 may be the scan line GL1 connected to the pixel PX that is adjacent in the second direction y. The light emitting control line GL5 may transmit a light emitting control signal EM to the fifth transistor T5 and the sixth transistor T6.

The gate electrode of the first transistor T1 may be connected to a first electrode of the storage capacitor C_(ST). A first electrode of the first transistor T1 may be connected to a second electrode of the second transistor T2 and may pass through the fifth transistor T5 and may be connected to the driving voltage line VL1.

A gate electrode of the second transistor T2 may be connected to the scan line GL1, the first electrode of the second transistor T2 may be connected to the data line DL, and the second electrode of the second transistor T2 may be connected to the first electrode of the first transistor T1. When the second transistor T2 is turned on by a gate-on voltage (or a low voltage) of the scan signal GW transmitted through the scan line GL1, the data voltage V_(DATA) transmitted through the data line DL may be transmitted to the first electrode of the first transistor T1.

The third transistor T3 may be an n-type transistor and may include an oxide semiconductor. The third transistor T3 may electrically connect the second electrode and the gate electrode of the first transistor T1. As a result, a compensation voltage into which the data voltage V_(DATA) is changed through the first transistor T1 may be transmitted to a first electrode of the storage capacitor C_(ST). A gate electrode of the third transistor T3 may be connected to the inverted scan line GL2, and a first electrode of the third transistor T3 may be connected to the second electrode of the first transistor T1. A second electrode of the third transistor T3 may be connected to the first electrode of the storage capacitor C_(ST) and the gate electrode of the first transistor T1. When the third transistor T3 is turned on by a gate-on voltage (or a high voltage) of the inverted scan signal GC received through the inverted scan line GL2, the third transistor T3 may connect the gate electrode of the first transistor T1 and the second electrode of the first transistor T1. The voltage applied to the gate electrode of the first transistor T1 may be stored in the storage capacitor C_(ST), and the storage capacitor C_(ST) may maintain a voltage at the gate electrode of the first transistor T1 for one frame.

The fourth transistor T4 may be an n-type transistor and may include an oxide semiconductor. The fourth transistor T4 may initialize the gate electrode of the first transistor T1 and the first electrode of the storage capacitor C_(ST) with the first initialization voltage V_(INT1). A gate electrode of the fourth transistor T4 may be connected to the initialization control line GL3, and a first electrode of the fourth transistor T4 may be connected to the first initialization voltage line VL3. A second electrode of the fourth transistor T4 may be connected to the first electrode of the storage capacitor C_(ST) and the gate electrode of the first transistor T1. When the fourth transistor T4 is turned on by a gate-on voltage (high voltage) of the initialization control signal GI received through the initialization control line GL3, the first initialization voltage V_(INT1) may be applied to the gate electrode of the first transistor T1 and the first electrode of the storage capacitor C_(ST).

The fifth transistor T5 may be a p-type transistor and may include a polycrystalline semiconductor. The fifth transistor T5 may transmit the driving voltage EL_(VDD) applied through the driving voltage line VL1 to the first transistor T1. A gate electrode of the fifth transistor T5 may be connected to the light emitting control line GL5, a first electrode of the fifth transistor T5 may be connected to the driving voltage line VL1, and a second electrode of the fifth transistor T5 may be connected to the first electrode of the first transistor T1.

The sixth transistor T6 may be a p-type transistor and may include a polycrystalline semiconductor. The sixth transistor T6 may transmit the driving current output by the first transistor T1 to the light emitting diode LED. A gate electrode of the sixth transistor T6 may be connected to the light emitting control line GL5, a first electrode of the sixth transistor T6 may be connected to the second electrode of the first transistor T1, and a second electrode of the sixth transistor T6 may be connected to the anode of the light emitting diode LED.

A gate electrode of the eighth transistor T8 may be connected to the bypass control line GL4, a first electrode of the eighth transistor T8 may be connected to the reference voltage line VL2, and a second electrode of the eighth transistor T8 may be connected to the first electrode of the first transistor T1. When the eighth transistor T8 is turned on by a gate-on voltage (or a low voltage) of the bypass signal GB, the reference voltage V_(EH) may be applied to the first electrode of the first transistor T1.

A second electrode of the storage capacitor C_(ST) may be connected to the driving voltage line VL1. A cathode of the light emitting diode LED may be connected to the common voltage line VL5 for transmitting the common voltage EL_(VSS).

A parasitic capacitor C_(AK) may be disposed between the data line DL and the anode of the light emitting diode LED. When the display device is driven at a high rate (e.g., a frequency of about 240 Hz), a lower region (e.g., a region of R2 in FIG. 1 ) of the display panel may be a blank frame while an upper region (e.g., a region of R1 in FIG. 1 ) of the display panel is an active frame. The bypass signal GB is applied to the pixel circuit of the upper region and the pixel circuit of the lower region so the second initialization voltage V_(INT2) may be applied to the anode of the light emitting diode LED of the lower region. When the data voltage V_(DATA) for the upper region is changed, the second initialization voltage V_(INT2) applied to the anode of the light emitting diode LED of the lower region is changed by the parasitic capacitance C_(AK) between the data line DL and the anode, and stains (changes of luminance) may be generated in the lower region. The generation of stains may be reduced by reducing capacity of the parasitic capacitance C_(AK), and an embodiment for reducing the capacity of the parasitic capacitance C_(AK) will be described in a later portion of the present specification.

In addition, differing from the shown embodiment, the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 may include polycrystalline semiconductors and may be p-type transistors. In the shown embodiment, the pixel PX includes eight transistors T1 to T8 and one storage capacitor C_(ST), and a number of the transistors, a number of the capacitors, and their connections are modifiable in many ways.

FIG. 3 shows atop plan view of pixels disposed in a display area of alight emitting display device according to an embodiment, FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional view with respect to a line A-A′of FIG. 3 , and FIG. 5 shows a cross-sectional view with respect to a line B-B′ of FIG. 3 . To avoid complexity of the drawings, constitutional elements for indicating characteristics of the present embodiment from among the constitutional elements described with reference to FIG. 2 are generally shown.

FIG. 3 shows pixels PXa, PXb, and PXc disposed in the display area DA of the display panel 10. Three pixels are shown, and the pixels PXa, PXb, and PXc may be regularly disposed in a matrix direction in the display area DA. The pixels PXa, PXb, and PXc may include a first pixel PXa, a second pixel PXb, and a third pixel PXc. The first pixel PXa, the second pixel PXb, and the third pixel PXc may display different colors and may display one of primary colors. For example, one of the first pixel PXa, the second pixel PXb, and the third pixel PXc may display a red color, another may display a green color, and the other may display a blue color. For example, the first pixel PXa may display the red color, the second pixel PXb may display the green color, and the third pixel PXc may display the blue color. A region of the third pixel PXc may be wider than a region of the first pixel PXa or the second pixel PXb.

The first pixel PXa, the second pixel PXb, and the third pixel PXc may be disposed to be evenly distributed. For example, the first pixel PXa and the second pixel PXb may be alternately and repeatedly disposed in the second direction y. The first and second pixels PXa and PXb and the third pixel PXc may be alternately and repeatedly disposed in the first direction x. Disposal of the pixels PXa, PXb, and PXc are changeable in various ways.

The first pixel PXa, the second pixel PXb, and the third pixel PXc may respectively include a first pixel electrode Ela, a second pixel electrode E1 b, and a third pixel electrode E1 c. A region of the third pixel electrode E1 c may be wider than the region of the first pixel electrode Ela or the second pixel electrode E1 b. The third pixel electrode E1 c may include at least one first opening OP1 substantially extending in the second direction. The third pixel electrode E1 c may include at least one second opening OP2 substantially extending in the first direction. The first opening OP1 may/may not be connected to the second opening OP2. Three first openings OP1 and two second openings OP2 are formed according to an embodiment, and the number of the first openings OP1 and the second openings OP2 is modifiable in various ways.

The first pixel PXa, the second pixel PXb, and the third pixel PXc may respectively include a first emission layer ELa, a second emission layer ELb, and a third emission layer ELc. The third emission layer ELc may include portions ELc1 to ELc6 separated by the first opening OP1 and the second opening OP2.

The data lines DLa, DLb, and DLc may be positioned to be near the pixels PXa, PXb, and PXc or partially overlap them. The data lines DLa, DLb, and DLc may substantially extend in the second direction y. The data lines DLa, DLb, and DLc may include a first data line DLa for transmitting the data voltage to the first pixel PXa, a second data line DLb for transmitting the data voltage to the second pixel PXb, and a third data line DLc for transmitting the data voltage to the third pixel PXc. The third data line DLc may traverse the third pixel electrode E1 c and may extend further because of a spatial restriction for disposing the pixels PXa, PXb, and PXc and wires. By this, coupling between the third data line DLc and the third pixel electrode E1 c may be a problem. To solve the problem, the first opening OP1 may be formed in the third pixel electrode E1 c to overlap the third data line DLc, and the region where the third pixel electrode E1 c overlaps the third data line DLc may be reduced. Accordingly, the parasitic capacitance C_(AK) between the third pixel electrode E1 c and the third data line DLc may be reduced, and image quality defects such as generation of stains caused by the parasitic capacitance C_(AK) may be improved. For example, when the first opening OP1 is formed in the third pixel electrode E1 c as shown above, capacitance between the third pixel electrode E1 c and the third data line DLc may be reduced to about ½ to about ⅓, compared to the case in which the first opening OP1 is not formed therein. It may be more advantageous in reducing the parasitic capacitance C_(AK) that the width of the first opening OP1 is greater than the width of the third data line DLc, and the former may be substantially equal to or less than the latter.

The driving voltage line VL1 may substantially extend in the second direction y, and it may overlap the first pixel PXa and the second pixel PXb or may overlap the third pixel PXc. Voltage lines such as the reference voltage line VL2, the first initialization voltage line VL3, the second initialization voltage line VL4, or the common voltage line VL5 may substantially extend in the second direction y, and may or may not overlap the pixels PXa, PXb, and PXc.

Referring to FIG. 3 , FIG. 4 , and FIG. 5 , the display panel 10 may include a substrate 110 and layers and parts positioned on the substrate 110. In detail, a first insulating layer IL1 may be positioned on the substrate 110. Although not shown, transistors, capacitors, and signal lines configuring a pixel circuit for driving the pixels PXa, PXb, and PXc may be positioned between the substrate 110 and the first insulating layer IL1, which will be described in a later part of the present specification.

The data lines DLa, DLb, and DLc may be positioned on the first insulating layer ILL. The driving voltage line VL1 may be positioned on the first insulating layer IL1, and the reference voltage line VL2, the first initialization voltage line VL3, the second initialization voltage line VL4, or the common voltage line VL5 may be positioned thereon.

A second insulating layer IL2 may be positioned on the data lines DLa, DLb, and DLc and the voltage lines VL1 to VL5.

The first pixel electrode Ela, the second pixel electrode E1 b, and the third pixel electrode E1 c may be positioned on the second insulating layer IL2. The first pixel electrode Ela may be the anode of the light emitting diode LED configuring the first pixel PXa. The second pixel electrode E1 b may be the anode of the light emitting diode LED configuring the second pixel PXb. The third pixel electrode E1 c may be the anode of the light emitting diode LED configuring the third pixel PXc. The third pixel electrode E1 c may include the openings OP1 and OP2. The openings OP1 and OP2 may respectively have a slit shape and may penetrate the third pixel electrode E1 c in a thickness direction (or the third direction z). The openings OP1 and OP2 may include a first opening OP1 substantially extending in the second direction y and a second opening OP2 substantially extending in the first direction x. The first opening OP1 may extend to be parallel to the third data line DLc and overlap the same. Accordingly, the region in which the third pixel electrode E1 c overlaps the third data line DLc may be reduced, and the coupling and the parasitic capacitance C_(AK) between the third pixel electrode E1 c and the third data line DLc may be reduced. To further reduce the parasitic capacitance C_(AK), the width of the first opening OP1 may be greater than the width of the third data line DLc, and the third data line DLc may be positioned in the first direction x in the first opening OP1.

The first opening OP1 and the second opening OP2 may discharge gas generated by the second insulating layer IL2. The second insulating layer IL2 may be formed by coating an organic insulating material including an organic solvent, an initiator, and a binder and curing the same. A material remaining in the second insulating layer IL2 or a decomposed material may be discharged as a gas in a subsequent process after the second insulating layer IL2 is formed or during use of the display device. This phenomenon will be referred to as outgassing. The discharged gas (particularly, after manufacturing the display panel) may be provided to the pixels PXa, PXb, and PXc to denaturalize or degrade the emission layers ELa, ELb, and ELc of the pixels PXa, PXb, and PXc or the common electrode E2 and reduce light emitting regions of the pixels PXa, PXb, and PXc, which will be referred to as generation of shrinkage. The third pixel electrode E1 c may be formed to be a relatively wide area, and the gas generated in the region overlapping the third pixel electrode E1 c may not be easily discharged when the display panel is manufactured. As the openings OP1 and OP2 are formed in the third pixel electrode E1 c, the gas may be fluently discharged through the openings OP1 and OP2, and the shrinkage caused by the outgassing may be suppressed.

A pixel defining layer 190 including openings 195 a, 195 b, and 195 c overlapping the pixel electrodes Ela, E1 b, and E1 c may be positioned on the second insulating layer IL2. The opening 195 c overlapping the third pixel electrode E1 c may include portions 195 c 1 to 195 c 6 divided by the openings OP1 and OP2. The opening 195 c is shown to be divided into the six portions 195 c 1 to 195 c 6, and the number of the divided portions may be changeable. The pixel defining layer 190 may cover edges of the pixel electrodes Ela, E1 b, and E1 c. The pixel defining layer 190 may cover the openings OP1 and OP2 of the third pixel electrode E1 c. The pixel defining layer 190 may overlap the data lines DLa, DLb, and DLc.

A first emission layer ELa, a second emission layer ELb, and a third emission layer ELc may be positioned on the first pixel electrode Ela, the second pixel electrode E1 b, and the third pixel electrode E1 c. The first emission layer ELa, the second emission layer ELb, and the third emission layer ELc may be positioned in the respectively corresponding openings 195 a, 195 b, and 195 c of the pixel defining layer 190. The first emission layer ELa, the second emission layer ELb, and the third emission layer ELc may have substantially the same planar shapes as the respectively corresponding openings 195 a, 195 b, and 195 c, and the planar shapes may be substantially equivalent to the light emitting regions of the respective pixels PXa, PXb, and PXc. The third emission layer ELc may include portions ELc1 to ELc6 divided by the openings OP1 and OP2. The portions ELc1 to ELc6 of the third emission layer ELc may be positioned in the corresponding portions 195 c 1 to 195 c 6 of the opening 195 c of the pixel defining layer 190. The portions ELc1 to ELc6 of the third emission layer ELc may have substantially same planar shapes as the corresponding portions 195 c 1 to 195 c 6 of the opening 195 c of the pixel defining layer 190, and the planar shapes may be substantially equivalent to the light emitting region of the third pixel PXc. When the portions ELc1 to ELc6 of the third emission layer ELc are divided, they may be positioned on one third pixel electrode E1 c for receiving the same driving current based on the same data voltage and may emit light with substantially the same brightness per area.

FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 show top plan views of pixels disposed in a display area of a light emitting display device according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 6 , the shape of the first opening OP1 formed in the third pixel electrode E1 c is different, compared to the above-described embodiment. In detail, the first opening OP1 may be formed to divide the third pixel electrode E1 c into two portions E1 c 1 and E1 c 2. The first opening OP1 may extend in the second direction y and may divide the third pixel electrode E1 c into a first portion E1 c 1 that is on a left side of the first opening OP1 and a second portion E1 c 2 that is on a right side of the first opening OP1. The first opening OP1 may extend in parallel to the third data line DLc and may overlap the third data line DLc. A width of the first opening OP1 may be greater than a width of the third data line DLc. When the first opening OP1 is formed as described above, the region where the third pixel electrode E1 c overlaps the third data line DLc may be minimized and the parasitic capacitance C_(AK) between the third pixel electrode E1 c and the third data line DLc may be further reduced. Although not shown, the first portion E1 c 1 and the second portion E1 c 2 of the third pixel electrode E1 c may be electrically connected to each other and may receive the same driving current.

Referring to FIG. 7 , there is a difference in that the second opening OP2 is not formed in the third pixel electrode E1 c, compared to the above-described embodiment. Hence, the third emission layer ELc may include portions ELc1 and ELc2 divided by the first opening OP1. That is, the third emission layer ELc may include a first portion ELc1 positioned on the left side of the first opening OP1 and a second portion ELc2 positioned on the right side of the first opening OP1. When the third pixel electrode E1 c and the third emission layer ELc are formed as described above, the light emitting region of the third pixel PXc may increase and a lifespan of the third pixel PXc may accordingly be increased. When the second opening OP2 is not formed in the third pixel electrode E1 c, gas may be discharged through the first opening OP1, thereby improving the shrinkage caused by the outgassing. A plurality of first openings OP1 are spaced from each other, and they may be connected to each other and may be lengthily formed in the second direction y. As shown in FIG. 6 , the first opening OP1 may be formed to divide the third pixel electrode E1 c into two right and left portions.

FIG. 8 shows a top plan view of pixels disposed in a display area of a light emitting display device according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 8 , an example in which a first opening OP1 extending in the second direction y is formed in the pixel electrodes Ela and E1 b of the first pixel PXa and the second pixel PXb from among the pixels PXa, PXb, and PXc. The first opening OP1 may extend to be parallel to the first data line DLa or the second data line DLb and overlap the same. The first emission layer ELa may be divided into two portions ELa1 and ELa2 by the first opening OP1. The second emission layer ELb may be divided by the first opening OP1, and it may not be divided and may substantially have a U shape. That is, the second emission layer ELb may include portions positioned on the right, left, and bottom (or top) side of the first opening OP1, and they may be connected to each other.

As described, formation of the first opening OP1 in the first pixel electrode Ela and the second pixel electrode E1 b may be advantageous in the structure in which the first pixel PXa and the second pixel PXb are lengthily formed in the first direction x and the third pixel PXc is lengthily formed in the second direction y. By forming the first opening OP1 in the first pixel electrode Ela and the second pixel electrode E1 b, the region in which the first pixel electrode Ela and the second pixel electrode E1 b overlap the first data line DLa or the second data line DLb may be reduced. Therefore, the parasitic capacitance C_(AK) among the first pixel electrode Ela and the second pixel electrode E1 b and the first data line DLa or the second data line DLb may be reduced.

In addition, the third pixel electrode E1 c may include a second opening OP2 extending in the first direction x, and the gas is discharged through the second opening OP2, thereby improving the shrinkage caused by the outgassing. The third emission layer ELc may be divided into two portions ELc1 and ELc2 or may not be divided.

The first pixel PXa, the second pixel PXb, and the third pixel PXc may be disposed to be evenly distributed. For example, the first pixel PXa and the second pixel PXb may be alternately and repeatedly disposed in the second direction y. The first and second pixels PXa and PXb and the third pixel PXc may be alternately and repeatedly disposed in the first direction x. Disposal of the pixels PXa, PXb, and PXc is modifiable in many ways.
